When you think about the Liverpool music scene, it’s all too easy to immediately cast your mind to the city’s fantastic original bands and songwriters. However, whether you’re getting married, having a birthday party or organising a corporate event, you may well require one of its the many excellent cover bands. We’ve asked the experts at Last Minute Musicians to shine a light on a few of these fantastic acts!
The Callbacks
Describing themselves as “powerful vocals accompanying a soulful strut”, The Callbacks might just be one of the most groove-infused cover bands in Liverpool! They easily recite the complicated arrangements of hit artists like Prince and Michael Jackson with an authenticity that stays true to the spirit of the original recordings. Nina’s soulful vocals are combined with a group of tight, well-rehearsed musicians, meaning this group is sure to pack out the dance floor at any event!
What people say about them:
“The music was perfect! You really got it right, just how we imagined it. Everyone has commented on how great the music was. Just the right atmosphere for dinner and then you also got everyone to push back the tables and get dancing afterwards. Honestly, you have the most amazing voice and such talent when it comes to creating an atmosphere…”

Mulder’s Folk
A big trend this summer was the “Wed-fest” – Glastonbury-style events that are jam-packed with music, food set in really creative venues. Mulder’s Folk could well be described as the perfect band for such shows! Combining foot-stomping folk rock hits with their own interpretations of modern day chart songs, Mulder’s Folk will provide a fantastic sound track for all kinds of vintage events.
What people say about them:
“Everyone absolutely loved the band and I can’t speak highly enough of them. They played two fantastic sets and were absolute professionals throughout. We will be recommending you to our friends for future occasions. Thank you for making our day so special.”

Blue Mojito
Jazz bands have been the staple way to add style and class to an event for decades, and Blue Mojito are a prime example of why that works… You might have already caught them on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, with Jimmy Carr astride their piano! Even though they already have over 200 Jazz standards in their repertoire, they are happy to take requests to make your event even more personal and memorable.
What people say about them:
“Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your work on the show yesterday, you guys were so accommodating and professional and Jimmy seemed to be really enjoying himself!”

Danny Blackmond
Though Danny was originally born in the USA, he’s been gigging all around the North West of the UK for a long time now. A truly unique talent, his exceptional guitar playing is matched only by the smooth-yet-soulful tone of his voice. While staying true to his roots and performing a great mix of Blues, Gospel and Soul music, he’s also not afraid to take on other material and make it his own! Danny is an excellent choice for those who prefer their music a little more Cooke than Kanye.
What people say about him:
“This man provided the perfect ending to our fantastic wedding weekend. A fantastic performer with such an eclectic range. There wasn’t a single guest left disappointed. Thank you again Danny.”

Ryan G
Based in Liverpool, Ryan offers potential clients a chance to turn back the clock and enjoy some swing and big band classics from the likes of The Rat Pack and Ol’ blue eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. However, unlike some swing singers, Ryan doesn’t restrict himself to this material alone and will also happily perform the more modern hits of Michael Buble or Bruno Mars! Whether you’re looking to add a touch of class to a drinks reception or a more up-beat dance set for a wedding, Ryan is guaranteed to be your guy.
What people say about him:
“Ryan, thank you so much for your wonderful performance at our engagement party. Everyone has commented on how brilliant you were. It was a pleasure to have you join us for the party and we wish you all the best for the future.”
